Re: Request for confirmation of documents under CPUTR 2008
Hi chippy,
If you have proper representation in place like properly instructed solicitors, professional debt management people as well as CAB and CCCS, then you can insist that no contact is made with you direct, everything and all contact has to be made via your "appointed representatives". It is stated with some clarity in the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines section 2.8 paras c and d. Failure to do so by anyone chasing a debt once informed of the reps forms the basis for formal complaint to all regulatory bodies governing the activities of said debt collection outfit.
Most of the parasites will ignore it for a while but usually run when it becomes obvious in the second letter you send that you mean business, like your sols are going to go after them under s40 of the Admin of Justice Act and s1 of the Protection from Harassment Act plus if the DCA has used a sols practice to harass and threaten you, you hit 'em back with a threat of a professional misconduct complaint via the SRA, SDT and/or Legal Ombudsman Service. the usual culprits run.
Just had that re confirmed professionally as well by the way when I know that other forums in the past have said S40 of the Admin of Justice act was now defunct in these issues since the inception of CPUTR2008. Not so it still stands.
hope that helps
